Delta Air Lines and Alaska Airlines both announced new service out of Seattle Tuesday.

Delta has been expanding its Seattle service quite a bit over the past couple of years. It now has 50 departures to 18 destinations from Seattle on peak days. Seattle-based Alaska, a Delta partner, has bulked up its service over the same period.

Delta's new destinations are:

Spokane -- four flights a day, starting Nov. 3;

Calgary, Alberta -- two flights a day starting Nov. 3;

Maui, Hawaii -- one flight a day starting Dec. 20;

Bozeman, Mont. -- on flight a day from Dec. 20 through Jan. 4, then Saturday service through March 28;

Los Cabos, Mexico -- four flight a week from Dec. 20 through Jan. 10, then Saturday service starting Jan. 17; and

Puerto vallarta, Mexico -- four flights a week from Dec. 20 through Jan. 10, then Saturday service starting Jan. 17.

The international destinations are pending government approvals.

Alaska Airlines announced plans to boost Seattle departures by 11 percent next spring, raising its total from 253 to 280.

"Alaska Airlines has been flying out of Seattle for more than half a century and we're proud to offer our customers nearly four times the departures to more destinations than any other airline," Joe Sprague, senior vice president of communications and external relations, said in a news release.

The 11 percent increase includes previously announced service to Albuquerque, N.M., Baltimore, Detroit, New Orleans, Tampa, Fla., and Cancun, Mexico. Alaska also plans to add:

Three roundtrip shuttle flights a day between Seattle and Portland, Ore.

Alaska said it also will start flying a Boeing 737 on two of its 16 daily round trip flights between Seattle and Spokane, replacing the current Bombardier Q400 service and increasing the total number of saily seats from 3,200 to 3,350.
